ROBERT MCCMJNO, Esq., Rep., Jury
Commissioner-elect, had the highest
▼ote of any candidate in the county at
the late election.
CAMERON didn't believe the Inde
pendent movement was loaded. The
people knew, however, that Mr. Cam
•ror was loaded, and proceeded to un
load him.
How. THCRLOW WEED, for long
years a noted journalist and leading
politician in the State of New \ ork,
died in the city of New York last week,
aged 85 years.
TIOGA county, the homo of
Senator Mitchell, gave Beaver 2,270;
Pattison, 2,257, and Stewart, 2,211.
For Secretary of Internal Affairs,
where Mr. Merrick, the Ind. Republi

RETURNS of the recent election in
fJew York, nearly all official, show a
total vote of 906,597. The total vote
for President in 1880 was 1,105,276.
Cleveland's majority is 199,991. His
total rote is 536,294. That for Han
cock in 1880 was 534,511; for Garfield
555,544. Folger's vote for Governor
this year is 342,303, or a falling off of
220,518 votes from the number he re
ceived in 1880 lor Chief Judge.
THKRI was a panic ia oil buying
here last Thursday, and the same all
over the country. Oil dropped 13
cents on the barrel in about that many
minutes. The consequence was a ceas
ing to "put up margins" and a wish to
sell. We are sorry our townsmen here
bad not better luck. But "margins''
arc a dangerous and treacherous thing
to handle, and we would advise all to
drop that way of tr> ing to make some
thing—out of nothing.
TH* Garfield Board of Audit re
ceived a characteristic letter from Chris
toph Flogeksties, a glazier, into whose
putty box one of the bullets fired by
Guiteaa at President Garfield, lodged.
The writer says: "I wish it to be un
derstood that I am far from making
alleged claims bat I hope your honora
ble body will assist me in my endeav
ors to get an honest living, by intrust
ing to me the position as the watchman
or similar office in one of the Govern
ment Departments."
POLIOS COMMISSIONER MASON, of
New York, in speaking of the defeat of
Polger for Govorncrr and the manner of
his nomination, says "the Angel Ga
briel would hare been defeated if be
had been nominated as Folger was."
With due deference to the opinion of
Mr. Mason, we will bet him two bar
rels of crude petroleum, 47° gravity,
that Gabriel would not have been de
feated. He is supposed to be honest
and would bare declined the nomina
tion quicker'n wink.— Ve.xango Citizen
Th* Supreme Court of Pennsylva
nia after January 1, 1883. will be com
posed as follows: Chief Justice, Ulys
ses Mercur (Rep.), of Bradford couuty;
Isaac G. Gordon (Rep), Jeffersou;
Edward M. Paxson (Rep ), Philadel
phia; John Trunkey (Dem.), Venango;
James P. Sterrett (Rep.), Allegheny;
Henry Green (Rep.), Northampton;
and Silas M. Clark (Dem.), Indiana.
Mercur's term will expire in 1887, Gor
don's in 1838, and Paxson's in 1895
so thai unless the Hne of saccession is
broken by death, inability, or resigna
tion,it will be thirteen yearis before a
Democrat occupies the place of Chief
Justice, from which Sbarswood retires.
SiifAToa Lke, of Venango county,
will most likely be next President pro
tern of the Senate. He has the ability,
th* independence, and the experience
and integrity to make a model presid
ing officer for the Senate. It the Repub
licans shall nominate and elect
him, without a squabble and a bolt,
the first step in the way harmonizing
and reorganizing the Republican party
of Pennsylvania will have been taken.
The Republican members of the Sen
ate can fttn into a blaze the smoulder
ing fires of the late party conflict, or
they can put out the fires entirely
This is a good time for a little wisdom
and a great deal of forbearance. Sen
ator Lee is, in onr opinion, the man for
the place, and we hope to see him
elected President of the Senate by the
solid vote of the Republican mertobers
of that body.— Crawford Journal.

PATTISON'S IXACGHBATIOX
The Gorcinor-Elecl in Favor
ol » Simple and Undemon
strative A flail r.
The Board of Officers of the State
Fencibles' Battalion offered the ser
vice of the battalion to Governor-elect
Pattison as escort from his home to 1
Harrisburg on the occasion of his in- 1
auguration. Mr. Pattison has de
clined the offer in a letter to Charles
Berger. adjutant and secretary of the
Board of Officers. Mr. Pattison's let
ter is as foilows :
PHILADELPHIA, NOV. 18, 1882.
MY DEAR SIR: I desire to acknowl
edge the receipt of your letter advis
ing me of the resolution unanimously
passed at a meeting of the Board of
Officers of the State Fencibles Battal
ion tendering me the services of the
battalion as an escort from my home
to Harrisburg on the occasion of the
inauguration of the Governor of the
Commonwealth in January next.
This letter is only one of many I am
daily receiving of similar import from
various organizations both military and
civil. As I was at one time a member
and president of your battalion, it is
not improper that I select my reply to
your invitation as a method of commu
nicating my purpose as to the inaugu
ration to all those organizations that
have already addressed me on the sub
ject or might be likely to take any
action in the matter in the future. For
the personal compliment intended to
be bestowed upon me by these friends
I am sincerely grcatful, but must de
cline to accept their kind offers, for
the reasons I am about to state. I
have always entertained a profound
conviction that a simple and undem
onstrative inauguration of public offi
cers was most in accord with the spir
it of republican institutions. There is
no reason that I can see why the
mere taking of an oath by the citizen
called by the people to execute a pub
lic trust should be made the occasion
for scenes of pageantry and demonstra
tion. To my mind the solemness of
the act is marred by the intrusion
of such needless and inopportune dis
play. The sooner we return to sim
plicity and democratic good sense in
these matters the better—better for the
people and better for the officer. Be
sides, lam resolutely determined that,
so far as I can control the matter, my
inauguration as Governor shall not
cost the people of Pennsylvania one
dollar. Why should it? They derive
no benefit from such scenes and the
money spent thereon is wasted.
These are my reasons for declining
your kind offer. I trust they may
meet your approval. Of course, the
inauguration is a public act and takes
place in the eye of the public. There
fore it is the right of such citizens as
desire to do so voluntarily and at their
own expense to be present at and wit
ness the ceremony. All such I will
be glad to see and meet on that occa
sion. More than that I do not wish
to inspire and cannot approve.
Respectfully yours,
ROBERT E. PATTISON.
We have witnessed these displays
at the inauguration of our Governor!.
They are only of modern introduction,
and Governor-elect Pattison deserves
praise from all good citizens for now
refusing to countenance them. Hav

The Defeat of Mr. Brahaui.
The Eagle is anxious to get clear of
the charge of defeating Mr. Brabant
for the Legislature. Last week it ad
mits just what we have heretofore said.
It en Jeavors to give other causes for
Mr. Braham's defeat, but thefollov
ing, which it lets drop without
apparently seeing its effect, is the ttue
and real one; It says:
"The charge against Mr. Braham
was that he continued to vote for Mr.
Grow (for United States Senator) after
the Republican caucus had by a ma
jority vote nominated a candidate, etc."
Here is the " caucus " system defend
ed. It is an invention of late years in
this State and was a convenient mode
by which the machine could beat the
people out of their choice. Mr. Bra
ham, with 55 other members and Sen
ators, resolved that they would obey
the will of their constituents in select
ing a United States Senator and not
the will of Don Cameron, who had,
through the "caucus" put up a young,
unknown and untried man. Mr. Grow
was the choice of the Republicans of
Butler county. No one dare deny that.
The people were for him, and all the
expressions of public opinion were for
him. Both Mr. Braham and Mr. Bell,
alter their nomination, and before and
after their election, declared themselves
in favor of Mr. Grow. Mr. Braham
carried out his instructions from his
constituents. Mr. Bell did not. Why?
Because "King Caucus" said no; re
plies the Eagle.
Any member of the Legisla
ture, who submits his choice for a
United States Senator to any other
tribunal than the Legislature itself,
violates, not only the spirit of the law,
but his duty to his constituents as
well. But the ''caucus" done so and
so, we are answered. "Caucuses"
can't make an honest member go con
trary to law in this matter of U. S.
Senators. "Caucus" may be allowed
for convenience in some things politi
cal, but the law points out how U S.
Senators shall be chosen, and no "cau
cus" should,in cuy party, be allowed to
fetter the free action or conscience of
any member. Mr. Br&ham and 55
other members adhered to the law and
the rights of the people. The great
mass ot the party in this county de
sired to show they approved bis course.
He was re-nominated by the highest
vote received by any of the candidates
running for nomination. No question
was or could be raised as to the fair
ness or regularity of his nomination.
The Republican voters of the county at
the primaries had settled that. No
person or paper had a right to "criti
cize" or question their choice. But the
Eagle did so, immediately after his
nomination and several times subse
quently. This misled enough to se
cure his defeat, for not desertiDg hispeo
pie, and their choice, Grow, and go
ing in with the "bosses" caucus
candidate. It is entitled to "the credit
it deserves" in this matter. It misled
enough to accomplish its purpose, and
it is done, but the probability is that
tbe effects of Mr. Braham's defeat in
this unfair manner, will be felt here
after in more cases than one.

A Mineteenlli Century Miracle.
A dispatch from MouoDgahela City,
Washington county, Pa , says: "Great
interest is manifest throughout this
part of the couatry over the remarka
ble recover of Mr. Richard Huffman,
of Bentleyville, near here, from a pres
tation caused by paralysis. For years
Mr. Huffman has been seen on the
streets here laboriously moving along
on his knees or in his wheeled arm
chair, and when it was reported last
Monday that he had been cured trough
the influence of prayer the story was
generally discredited. A visit to Bent
leyville, however, shows that it is
true. Instead of finding a cripple hob
bling about on his knees, the corre
spondent found in the person 'of Rich
ard Huffman a man straight and erect
standing about five feet ten inches in
height. He gave the following ac
count of his miraculous cure : On last
Thursday evening I asked my friends
to pray for my restoration to health,
and about eight o'clock on that even
ing I crawled out to the wagon shed
in the dark and rain on my knees and
short canes, and there, with the
light of my lantern turned down, I
poured out my soul at the throne of
grace, and oh! I felt as if the very door
of Heaven's mercy was open, and that
I could see Jesus stretch forth his hand
to lift me from my infirmities. Oh !
the experience I had never felt before.
It appeared to me that the blessing
would surely come, and I know it has.
I had to crawl some distance from the
house, when, on my way in, I felt I
must cling still closer to the promises,
then act faith. So I got up and walk
ed up a bill some five rods. Next up
a wet flight of steps nine in number,
some forty feet more, through the
kitchen to the end of another porch.
Met my plater and shook hands with
her. Since then I have been walking
in the triumph of faith."
Dr, Jesse T, Scott, who has charge
of the ease, said to the correspondent,
"I heard of Huffman's cure and was
very much surprised. He undoubted
ly was afflicted with locomotorataxia.
When I had exhautsed everything in
my province I took him before the
Washington County Medical Society,
and both Doctors, M'Kenna and Lit
tle, said the case was incurable, and
they could give him no hope. The
disease is supposed to be incurably, and
I have no explanation whatever to
make. He was on his knees last
week, but last night I saw him walk
ing,"

DEATHS.
BHANOR.—On Nov. loth, 1882, at Prospect,
and waa interred at that place on Nov. Itfth
lust., Mrs. Annie Shanor, aged 23 years.
She was baptised at Mt. Kebo church in in
fancy and became a member of the same in
1876. In the fall of 1880 she was uuited in
marriage to Mr. John F. Shanor; lifted her cer
tificate from Mt. Nebo and became with her
husband a member of the Evangelical Lutheran
church of Prospect. She was beloved by all
who knew ber; was a kind daughter, a dutiful
aud efFectiouate wife; lived an exemplary life
and died triumphing in the faith of the Redeem
er; exhorting her many friends to meet her in
heaven. Up to the time of her death she re
peated the hymns learned from childhood,
among them, "I'm going home to die no more,"
and expired in the arms of her hu -band, peace
fully and calmly.
Fall gently, oh ! ye autumn leaves,
Aboye our loved one's head ;
'Tis precious dust that sleeps beneath,
A lovely flower out down by death,
In youth's bright, halcyon bloom.
We see no more the pure, sweet face,
That rests beneath the sod;
But memory bears forever yet,
Its impress, like a jewel—
Her spirit—home with Qod.
Oh, fairest flowers, when springtine comes>
Spring upward on her breast,
And perfume all the ambient air ;
For she, like you, was sweet and fair;
But early gone to rest,
But, still we weep not o'er the spot,
For she was only given,
And taken in ber youthful years,
Amid our sighs and falling tears.
To draw us nearer heaven.
